The truth, I think, is this: that since the triumph of what was called rationalism, we have successfully cultivated everything except reason - G.K. Chesterton

A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him saying, 'you are mad, you are not like us' - St. Anthony

Surprise of the series- Kurt Patterson making a lot of runs - 2 important tons.

Paines breaks hand/wrist/finger in first or second test, out for series. Wade in team already at #6 so easy solution re. keeping for remainder of test. Cummins appointed captain for remainder of series with Carey coming in as keeper and VC. Paine retires at series' end and Carey appointed permanent captain after only having played 3 or 4 tests.

If Wade plays as a batsman he will also take 3 or more wickets during the series.

Pattinson to take an average of 6 wickets per test he plays.

Cummins to struggle a little bit with the ball, under 15 wickets in the 5 tests, but will make a crucial century during the series.
